I have a quick question, what is a velocity stack?

Anachronism

It is basically a funnel that is supposed to smooth the air going into the intake tubing allowing more air to enter. Here is the velocity stack MAF adapter on my car --

And here is the one on the JWT pop charger --

how much is a maf adaptor coupled with a velocity stack, and does it actually improve sound, and performance at all? fot the moment, i just am looking for som sound with a tiny amount of performance, and i have next to NO money

I just typed a very long detailed response and my computer locked up and it was lost (again). I am not in the mood to do it again so I will give a shorter resopnse this time.

Some feel the velocity stack helps, some think it does nothing. It is agreed that replacing the resonator with a midpipe deepens the intake tone and helps performance. If you don't think the velocity stack will hepp you can get an intake kit from frankencar (~$130). If you want a velocity stack go with the JWT pop (~$120) or the RVM racing velocity stack Maf adapter and K&N filter combo ~$65. With the JWT pop and RVM racing intakes you will still have to buy an intake tube (~$50) or make your own (less than $15 for parts) if you want one.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6764 -- I would not put this crap filter on my car but it is dirt cheap. It says 87-94 but I belive the 95-99 are the same.

Edit - I just stumbled onto this one on ebay, maf adapter and K&N filter for $50 - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33621

If someone got the RVM racing velocity stack MAF adapter and K&N combo for $65, then paired it with the Frankencar midpipe $60, how would it compare to the Frankencar midpipe and K&N combo for $130? Is that one for $130 just the same but missing a velocity stack? Will they combine w/out problems?

RVM has a midpipe for $48 but you will have to buy new breather hoses to reach the midpipe (less than $5 at an auto parts store). The franken car has longer tubes for the breather hoses so the stock ones will work (I think). You could get the whole setup from RVM for about $115 but I think Franken car gives a discount to .org members so the pricing should be very close. For me it came down to the fact that the RVM has a velocity stack which I feel will give a small benifit.

Edit - The rvm midpipe now comes with replacement breather hoses. http://www.rvmracing.com/product.asp?0=275&1=281&3=212

The apexi filter has a type of "velocity stack" built in.

Power was much smooher at WOT with a velocity stack.
